A very quick question please...
I've just started taking Plaquenil a week ago. Started on 1 for first week. And since yesterday been on 2. Has anyone encountered anything similar to what I've described below?
Since I started a week ago I've noticed a strange heart beat at times - a bit heavy. Even when I'm sleeping on my left side I can feel my heart beat and hear it through my left ear. Also get random pains around the heart area and in the fingers.
Didn't think much of it at first. But then yesterday when I was showering, whilst putting on the shower gel my left hand started to shake. When I stopped applying the shower gel it stopped. And when I started applying again the shaking started again :worried: Eventually it stopped.
BUT then today whilst I was typing a text message on my phone the shaking started briefly, and then went again.
Incredibly worried. Have booked a GP's appointment tomorrow, but wanted to know if anyone has had such an experience :worried:
PS I've not had any noticeable stomach problems on Plaquenil - which I know a lot of people do have.
